Chereads / Astraeus / Chapter 2 - VoidSpawn

Chapter 2 - VoidSpawn

Suddenly, from his wings, a hologram appeared. It displayed a skillful representation of his stats. "Life Essence 30 points, Agility 15 points, Strength 10 points, Magical Power 12 poinst, affinity unknown". Lyon's mind was racing as he questioned how this technology could exist. He was awestruck by the hologram's realism and intricate details, left speechless and mesmerized by its foreign display, but one thing was clear to him. The wings had augmented his physical and magical capabilities, and he was grateful for it.

The hologram also displayed a special ability, but it was blocked. Lyon didn't know why the system had prevented him from accessing it. Unexpectedly, the system spoke, announcing a range of enemies within the vicinity and instructing Lyon to engage.

"No way!! You have to be kidding me? There is no way I'm gonna fight the Parasytes". He had never engaged in combat before and was not confident in his skills. The system, however, assured him that the enemies within range were in their larval state, making them easier to defeat. Lyon was unaware but him making contact with the portal had diminished its energy, this made the creatures many times weaker an easy to handle.

As Lyon entered the portal, he could feel a sense of dread and wonder emanating from it. The vast expanse of the portal felt uncanny, like a desolate wasteland that no one would dare to venture into.

Lyon saw the Parasytes all around him; they are what are known to the races of Astraeus as VoidSpawn; they were worm-like creatures that wriggled with an inhuman frenzy that seemed to provoke the very depths of his fears. His anxiety peaked as he realized that he was expected to fight these creatures, but the system's voice rang in his head, telling him to erase them to level up.

The parasites were all around him, squirming with an insidious life force. They surrounded him like a mob of writhing worms, their slimy bodies glistening in the dark. Despite Lyon's misgivings, he felt a sudden urge to fight and eradicate the pests.

As he began to fight, he felt a wave of energy course through him. He punched and kicked, feeling more confident with each passing moment. The parasites were weak and easy to defeat, and within minutes, all of them were gone.

A notification popped up on the hologram; he had levelled up, and a new unique ability called Magic Storage had been unlocked. Lyon felt so happy, knowing that he had overcome his fears, and that he had gained a new ability at the same time.
